Efficient Steps for Installation of the Wheel Hub Assembly

The wheel is the most important part of a car as, without it, the car won't be able to run.

The wheel hub assembly allows you to have a smooth and hassle-free driving experience.

The wheel hub assembly contains the wheel bearings, which allow the wheels to turn quietly and steadily.

If you are trying to replace your old hub assembly, then efficient installation of wheel hub assembly should be a priority.

Park your car on a spacious and level ground and apply the parking brake and if you are installing the new hub assembly on the front wheel, put the choke at the back wheel.

Loosen the lug nuts about one-quarter of a turn using the tire iron and do not remove them completely.

Then, lift the car using the floor jack and set up the jack stands underneath.

Once the car is lifted and properly placed on the jack stands, remove the lug nuts and pull the tire away from the wheel assembly.

Look for the brake caliper bolts and take them off using the ratchet and socket. With your screwdriver, carefully remove the caliper and support it with the bungee cord.

After that, take the brake rotors off the hub assembly and if your car is equipped with an ABS wiring harness, unplug them from the assembly as well.

Use the breaker bar and the socket to loosen and remove the spindle nut and the washer.

Move the drive shaft and the spindle to provide easier access to the old hub assembly. After that, carefully pull the old wheel hub assembly away from the spindle.

Use the sandpaper to remove rust or any sign of corrosion before installing the replacement hub assembly.

Position the new wheel hub assembly.

Put the new backing plate onto the knuckle and position the drive shaft and the spindle.

Make sure they are at the center of the hub bearing. Reattach the bolts of the wheel hub assembly and securely tighten them using the breaker bar and the socket.

Place the new washer and spindle to re-install the brake assembly and re-connect the ABS wiring harness. Then, remount the wheel and tighten all the lug nuts in place.

Remove the jack stands and lower your car and if you are going to replace all the wheel hub assemblies in your car, just repeat the entire process on each hub assembly.

Towards the end, remove the wheel chock and test drive your car to check if everything is working properly.
